gear ratio

Post by punter »

Anyone know the standard gear ratio for a 1984 Defender 110?

I've got a stock rolling chassis, with the original V8, Gearbox, and transfer case. Salisbury axels front and rear... no mods.

I need to order some parts, but I'm away from home (can't check my manuals), and I cannot recall what the gear ratio is.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Sorry about that... yes, I was referring to the transfer case.

This is quickly taken from the 1986 Directory:

High Ratios:

RR = 1.174:1
101 = 1.174:1
109 V8 = 1.336: 1
110 V8 = 1.34:1

Low Ratio, all appear to be 3.321:1

The favourite mod was to swop to RR gear cluster.
